The Weddings Of u skensh.

During the month Of June total OF
twenty two marriage licenses was issued
from the clerks office Of the county
court, ten Of which were white and
twelve colOred.
This beats the record of the correspond
ing month OF last year, as in that period
only seventeen licenses were issued, nine
white and eight colored Perhaps the
fact that marriage licenses cost this year
but one halt the price Of last year has
aided materially in giving the matrimon-
al market boom.

day, declares that Governor Foraker and
John Sherman are warm friends and are
working together in perfect accord. He be-
leves the Ohio delegation will be solid for
Sherman in the next Republican conven-
ton Mr.. Grosvenor doesn't think Mr.
Cleveland was actuated by desire to make
political capital when he issued that battle
flag order The presidents motive was
good but he failed to appreciate the s nti-
ment involved, and the flag incident was
bound to do him much harm Referring to
the talk of Mr. Lamar's appointment to ths
supreme bench, Mr.. Grosvenor said: "I
like Lamar. If [ had to look over Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet for man to do honor
to it. ! should select Lamar above all the
rest He fascinatss you. If you know him,
you must like him But to appoint him on

Democratic Conference.

dW WASHINGTON, July THE Star said
last night that Speaker Carlisle was ex-
pected in Washington before this time, and
good many members of the house have
come here with the idea of meeting him
The will case he is now trying which has
been postponed from time to time, has kept
him in Kentucky. He is expected now on
she lst of July or few days later. His
coming will the notice for the arrival of the
leading members of the Democratic side Of
5he house, who will meet him in conference
acre on the revenue question They hope to
make a general sounding OF the party at
This conference, or series of conferences to
90 held, so as TO come to some sort of con
clusion as to what they will be able to do in
;he way of reducing the revenue.
They will be met at the very entrance of
the subject with the fact that Mr.. Randall
still occupies his position and that he has not
been idle for while. He has talked, one at
time, with good many members of CON
gress whose sections are dissatisfied with the
Internal revenue system It is thought
when the conference with Mr. Carlisle is
neld there will be propositions coming from
unexpected quarters having in view the
repeal of the tobacco tax and a sort of com
bination internal revenue and the tariff re-
1uction.
These conferences will be only preliminary
70 party caucus, to be held bout the time
Of the meeting of congress, when the disposi-
lion Of the majority will be tested The
question of who will be the chairman of the
ways and means committee is an important
one. Upon it depend the prospects of an
agreement on the revenue question. Mr.
Mills, as second on the old committee, and
an extreme tariff reformer, expects to sue
eeed Mr.. Morrison. He and Mr.. Carlisle
are close friends. The strongest rival of
Mr.. Mills for this position will be S. 5. Cox,
whose appointment will be urged by many
on account of his not being such a sticlfler
for the radical principles of free trade, and
because he is more apt to act with diplo-
macy.

The president has granted him pardon.
In endorsing the application he says that

He has now been in prison equivalent to
more than fifteen years, allowing the deduc-

has grown to be an old man, broken down
